Investigate any and all reports of animal abuse or neglect.

Impartially enforce all animal laws.

Feed, shelter, and care for animals that are lost, abandoned, or relinquished by owners.

Provide the opportunity for animals to be adopted into a healthy environment.

Humanely remove wildlife from home or work areas and relocate then to a better environment.

Maintain a working relationship with The Butler County Humane Society for the benefit of our community and common goals.

Educate the public about animal overpopulation, city and state laws concerning animals, and the duties of our division.
